AIDS Trust Sydney Food & Wine Fair returns in 2008

The signature fundraising event for the AIDS Trust of Australia, the fair will be held on Saturday November 1 in Hyde Park North.

Ear marked as a must-attend event on calendars each year, the fair continues to expand with its popularity and has developed a reputation amongst Sydneysiders as the perfect day to enjoy with friends and family.

This year will also see the addition of a produce market which stands to show the commitment that the Sydney Food & Wine Fair has to quality food and produce.

Combining premium offerings from Sydney’s finest food and beverage establishments & wineries alongside a produce market, this year’s fair, as part of The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Month, is set to be bigger and better than ever.
 

With food and wine service from midday, the best of Sydney’s restaurants and Australian wineries including Cafe Sydney, Jonah’s at Whale Beach, Longrain, Quay, Guillaume at Bennelong, Bourke St Bakery and Scarborough Wines will be involved this year.

Jan McKenzie of Cafe Sydney said the Sydney Food and Wine Fair is a highly regarded, quintessential event and is one of the most renowned fundraisers across Australia, a testament to its success.

“We are passionate about our involvement with the Sydney Food & Wine Fair, but the focus is on the fundamental aim of the event which is raising money for the AIDS Trust of Australia to allow them to continue their great work.”

“The AIDS Trust Sydney Food & Wine Fair is a fantastic hospitality day which truly shows the powerful draw and unification on mass of what is viewed as a very competitive industry,” said McKenzie.

Newly appointed CEO to the AIDS Trust of Australia Nick Toonen said he was confident this year’s fair would raise much-needed funds for HIV prevention, support, care and research.

“The AIDS Trust of Australia is the national HIV/AIDS fundraising body and the Sydney Food and Wine Fair is our signature event, it’s a great day out for an even greater cause.”

An exciting line-up of entertainment on the main stage will allow visitors to relax and while away the afternoon with a host of local performers and acts to continue the festivities.
